Sunday at the Farmers' Market


Sunday mornings we like to ride our bike to the farmers' market. We buy eggs (cage-free), oranges and fresh veggies. This morning I bought a piece of baklava for $2 which was dripping with honey. Mostly, though, I like it that when I hand over three bucks for oranges it goes right into the farmer's pocket. No distant corporation siphoning off a slice of the profit and taking that money out of the community. What if farmers' markets grew to the point that they put the mega-supermarkets out of business?
